I'm glad you took the liberty of creeping through my posts and criticizing the first school that I got into. Still early for me. That being said, if you had knew my connections(thanks fraternity) and net worth(parents had nothing to do with my business and investment success) you would know I could go to Cooley at full sticker for 30 years and be just fine.

But of course you and your boy Tom Cruise don't know that. Because you're just a couple of petty assholes who spend your days trolling TLS and saw a "fraternities/sororities" post as your opportunity to try and get even with the guys who gave you psychological swirlies throughout your college career.

OP asked a legit question and I'm sure neither he nor anyone else wants to see you grind your axes on TLS.

Had to QFP this for the "net worth" line. Shit had me rolling.

Also I was in a frat, and that's why I can say with some authority that it's not a badge of honor. It's one of fun and immaturity.

Nucky, there's nothing necessarily wrong with being in a fraternity, but it doesn't confer some badge of superiority. You assuming that not being in a fraternity has some significance for a person's social skills is no better than others assuming that people who were in a fraternity are alcoholic Neanderthals. If you keep making your assumption, of course people are going to troll you by trashing frats (and I'm pretty sure you were the one who first suggested that being in a fraternity made someone better).

And for the 17th time, it's not that fraternities are necessarily horrible. It's that there really are people out there who view them negatively. And there are some who view them positively. Like with so many things, it depends on who you're dealing with and what risks you're willing to take for what benefits.

Everyone else, if you went to a crappy northern undergrad or some place where fraternity brothers wore cargo shorts and played Yugioh, I don't expect you to think that it would give me a boost. However, at any decent college below the mason Dixon, it gives me a boost. I just asked because I wanted to know whether it would give me a boost specifically in the law school application field.

Also, if you call your fraternity a "frat" your probably one of those cargo bros I was talking about. Don't be a jabroni.

AND Please let's talk calmly? Y'all are flippin out on these message boards.

This is truly beautiful. Look, you obviously take a lot of pride in being in a fraternity, for whatever reason, so just list it on there. If it's important to you and it is something you want to show the world, as it appears it is, please just tell everyone about it. It's doubtful to do anything that harmful, especially in conjunction with your other supposed activities.

I think adcomms are more likely to have backgrounds like "went to a crappy northern undergrad or some place where fraternity brothers wore cargo shorts" than be like nucky. Check out these bios: https://blogs.law.harvard.edu/admission ... view-team/Bates College, Hamilton College, and a Studio Arts major. I would bet that most places would be the same. I can't imagine it would be particularly significant one way or though, just that I doubt you're going to get many people in these environments who think it's super cool. That being said, if it's important to you, put it.

I had an interview with U of I and they brought up my grades during pledge semester. They asked why I didn't drop etc. I guess I won't be Tom Cruising anytime soon haha.

Dude. I'm applying to UVA...

Dude. Just put it then. It doesn't matter.

(Hopefully you're applying to other schools too..)

Maybe if you hadn't posted on TLS 5000 times you would have gotten laid and made a friend by now.

I hate to break it to you, but anyone with boat shoes and a haircut get into a fraternity. In California you probably don't even need the haircut part. Oh, and, being able to drink copious amounts of alcohol will certainly add to you cv. I was actually in one at one point and most of my friends/family are. They're not unique. They continue to talk about it after college as if it is the hallmark of their lives. It's not. They're living in fantasy land because no one cares.

Maybe they continue to discuss it because it was a great part of their lives. While you sat in your dorm room and watched Thundercats some of us actually had a good time.

I'm sorry that some of you are such petty losers that you feel the need to lash out at the guys you emulated in college over the internet. Someone has to be a loser. I'm sorry it was you. Dont take that out on the rest of us and get a life.

BTW, @Mal, "spurious?!" Who the hell speaks that way? Keep typing words in to Microsoft Word and looking up synonyms that allow you to post something semi-intelligible. Maybe you can become a 9000+ poster on TLS one day! Surely the crowning achievement of many of your lives.

The fact that you felt the need to come here to lash out against Greek life, put us all into the same box, and take out your frustrations is quite revealing. You guys are pathetic.

Quit while people still think you're a high functioning autist

Before people begin to think you're just a retard

From a guy with 11000+ posts, that's hilarious. You must have a hell of a tan. Eharmony much?
